Queer RelationTips

Host Isaac Archuleta and Matthias Roberts, counselor and podcast host himself, talk about Roberts' new book,  Beyond Shame: Creating a Healthy Sex Life on Your Own Terms. They consider the shame the results from purity culture and ask questions one can consider in evaluating the presence of shame in one's own life.

Host Isaac Archuleta sits with the founder, owner, and lead singer of Everyday Sunday. They consider how his religious beliefs affected his choices growing into adulthood and the eventual ending of his marriage. They also explore what it means to have a sexual orientation, how it affects all parts of one's life, and how an oppressive background can stall love. 

Host Isaac Archuleta and Dr. Tina Sellers, a licensed marriage and family therapist, certified sex therapist who holds a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, and author of Sex, God, and the Conservative Church: Erasing Shame from Sexual Intimacy. They discuss the way developmental trauma affects sexuality and how it can go on to affect adult sexuality.
